"Seaweed" lacks a formal definition, but seaweed generally lives in the ocean and is visible to the naked eye. The term refers to both flowering plants submerged in the ocean, like eelgrass, as well as larger marine algae. Generally, it is one of several groups of multicellular algae; red, green and brown.

The seaweed has a pale to dark-green thallus that typically grows to outward to around 0.35 to 2 metres (1.15 to 6.56 ft). [3] It has feather-like fronds that arise from a common stolon. Each of the fronds is upright and branched. The oppositely arranged branchlets are cylindrical to needle-shaped with upcurved tips with a blunt point at the end.
Caulerpa lentillifera or sea grape is a species of ulvophyte green algae from coastal regions in the Asia-Pacific. This seaweed is one of the favored species of edible Caulerpa due to its soft and succulent texture. It is traditionally eaten in the cuisines of Southeast Asia, Oceania, and East Asia.
Caulerpa taxifolia is a species of green seaweed, an alga of the genus Caulerpa, native to tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean Sea. [2] The species name taxifolia arises from the resemblance of its leaf-like fronds [3] to those of the yew (Taxus).
It is an edible green algae, although sometimes designated as a seaweed. [1] General characteristics of Ulva australis include a smooth surface, distromatic blades, lobed fronds, and thallus color from dark green to light grass green. It can be either free floating or attached by a single holdfast.
Although most contemporary ulvophytes are marine macroalgae , ancestral ulvophytes may have been freshwater, unicellular green algae. Molecular phylogenetic evidence suggests that macroscopic growth was achieved independently in the various major lineages of Ulvophyceae ( Ulvales - Ulotrichales , Trentepohliales , Cladophorales , Bryopsidales ...
Dictyosphaeria cavernosa is a species of green algae (class Ulvophyceae) in the family Siphonocladaceae, [1] one of the three species in this family. Its common name is green bubble seaweed. [2] Dictyospharea cavernosa is multicellular with multiple bumps or bubbles on the surface.
Mougeotia is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae of the order Zygnematales. It is a common component of freshwater aquatic habitats around the world. [2] Described in 1824 by Carl Adolph Agardh, [1] its name honors the French botanist Jean-Baptiste Mougeot. [3]
